abstract = {This article analyses the basic epistemology of
biographical research methodology. This analysis is grounded on
the life history of a Moroccan boy who entered Spain illegally,
but after being processed by the juvenile justice system, became
a social educator. Some methodological aspects of this case
are examined, including biographical hermeneutics; the oftenconfused
concepts of 'life story' and 'life history'; the main
characteristics of the method, including the usually neglected
vision of the 'other'; life as a process; and the idea of subject.
The educational, ethical, and political dimensions analysed make
visible counter-narratives that question the status quo and
pursue social justice.},

la metodología de investigación biográfica. Dicho análisis se
sustenta empíricamente en la historia de vida de un joven
marroquí que llegó a España de manera ilegal y tras un
proceso de justicia juvenil se convirtió en educador social.
Se examinan algunos aspectos metodológicos de este caso,
incluyendo la hermenéutica biográfica; los conceptos ‘relato
de vida’ e ‘historia de vida’, habitualmente confundidos; las
principales características del método, incluyendo la visión del
‘otro’; la vida como proceso; y la idea de sujeto. Las dimensiones
educativa, ética y política analizadas hacen visibles contranarrativas
que cuestionan el estatus quo y persiguen la justicia
social.},
